This is set after the events of "21st Century Boy" as the young Guv and his fiancée Alex Price are having to babysit Gene's rambunctious younger nephews for a week. Inspired by CBBC'S "Our School" series 1 and 4 for all modern decor.

Set in 2019 Manchester with a 26 year old DI Gene Hunt and 23 year old Alex Price.


Whenever she pictured it in her mind it looked terribly outdated, all of the decor putting her vividly in the '80s and early '90s. Surely they would have redecorated since then; she would have insisted upon it. Then again, her soon to be husband was a creature of habit and incredibly stubborn to boot. Molly – who never seemed to be more than eight or nine years old still – shouting at the top of her voice and telling her how naughty she was, not stopping even while Alex was crying at her wits end.


"You can have playtime before school and after school- , only if - -you are kind to your friends and

-listen and come straight to stand next to Auntie Alex when I ask.
When I say one... two... you must run to me and stand next to me before I say...three , or you will have to miss playtime after school and go straight home." said Alex Price to Gene's three much younger nephews, the eldest Logan was 11 years old but acted much younger for his age usually egging the 4 year old to be extremely naughty along with a 6 month old baby.

"My mam's sister lets the kids run riot," when Alex Price dropped her jaw at three very young kids running around the house still in their pyjamas and on the furniture "I'm worried this is where your little sister Molly is picking up on throwing tantrums, I know your mam Caroline texted me about what my little nephews were doing to her behaviour. She said that it wasn't my fault they're like this, my mum's sister is an utter chav especially when I got informed that Logan's been naughty at his new secondary school North Manchester College over certain teachers." Gene scratched the back of his neck worried for his soon to be wife's younger sibling as this had his auntie Emma's name written all over it. "I'm beginning to think little Logan is far too young for the secondary school and college environment; his teachers now want me to supervise him - which is going to eat into my shifts as a Detective Inspector at Greater Manchester Police, but thankfully my dad being a DCI managed to square it with my skipper as he's told them Logan's awaiting a developmental assessment for potential Oppositional Defiance Disorder and learning disabilities thanks to bloody auntie Emma, leaving his special needs unchecked and the professionals at the time, took it as normal toddler behaviour; since he was two in 2010."

Alex Price gives her fiancée some sympathy "Oh, so you've been an uncle since you were 15 years old; I'm sorry that you practically have to raise these little boys yourself, where are their fathers?" wondering at the Jeremy Kyle atmosphere of Emma Hunt's home environment.

Gene pours his heart to his girlfriend of nine years, the young Guv has a sensitive side melting like chocolate "Their dads are deadbeats who think nothing of playing Xbox, being in and out of prison for domestic violence and stealing cars." He sits on the sofa with Alex Price listening to their song Spandau Ballet's "True" on the I-Pod docking station "So, these little nephews have bad influences by copying their thug dads and me mam just dreads having to babysit the boys over to ours as Stu will just copy Logan's loudness, Mum finds it too much ending up calling Dad - DCI of Greater Manchester Police who then has his working day interrupted to sort my much younger nephews and Stu out." Any small toys or those with 100 pieces are placed out of reach at Gene's parents abode whenever Stu and the three very young nephews play together as the 4 year old Lewis still puts things in his mouth and is too young still for proper Lego; so Michelle Hunt ensured she had Duplo blocks around.


Logan Hunt and his much younger brothers are making a mess with cereal and squashing Wotsits into the floor, however the three boys are never sat at the dining table or the 4 year old and 6 month old into highchairs; allowed to run around with food which could cause a choking hazard; spreading crumbs anywhere in the rooms.

"I remember the time when I was forced to bring them to your parents, my nephews stamped their cheesy puffs all over the floor and sofa then watched me try and hoover the orange crap off everything." Gene was trying to limit the damage from smeared yogurt and Coco Pops by spoonfeeding all three children, so they can't play with their food or throw it on to the kitchen lino floor.


"Logan acts and talks more like a 8 year old; which North Manchester College have raised concerns about from his Head of Year 7." The young Guv disclosed to Alex Price when doing the four year old's nursery run; broad shoulders, shaggy long hair and tall build, he made all the mums swoon over him while dropping kids off for the start of classroom time. "He still likes to watch fireman Sam etc." Alex Price observed this when Channel 5's Milkshake was on television; helping his girlfriend Lady B get his nephews ready for the school/nursery run on time, since Emma Hunt buggered off to the Gala Bingo halls last night near the Arndale Shopping Centre malls, leaving 4 year old Lewis Robert Hunt and 6 month old John Philip Hunt distressed by their mum buggering off without any notice given to Gene and Alex who are the only responsible adults in this tatty house even though it's his nephews.
